Dr. Gary Schlapp Obituary|Countryside Veterinary Clinic Mourns Staff

The community mourns the passing of Dr. Gary Schlapp, who died peacefully on Sunday, November 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Dr. Schlapp’s life was a remarkable story of commitment to his profession and his patients. His journey began in 1976 when he joined his father at Countryside immediately after school. This began a lifelong dedication to the practice he would later own in 1995. For nearly five decades, Dr. Schlapp was a cornerstone of the establishment, providing unwavering care and building lasting relationships.

His leadership as owner from 1995 until the practice’s sale in 2020 ensured a continuity of trusted service. Even after the transition, his dedication never wavered; he continued his work until his well-earned retirement in 2024.

Dr. Schlapp’s legacy is not just one of professional longevity, but of profound personal connection with those he served. He will be remembered as a devoted healthcare provider, a pillar of his practice, and a family man.

We extend our deepest condolences to the entire Schlapp family during this time of immense sorrow. Details regarding service arrangements can be found in the link provided.
